Laird Street And Boundary Road 1938 1947

A Memory of Bidston.

I moved to 120 Boundary Road, Bidston in 1938, from 11 Clifford Street, off Laird Street. Attended Bidston Avenue School and later Tollemache Road School - Mr Gidney. head master, Pollett. Evans, Blackmore, Baron and a few others. Friends were Dennis Landsborough (25 Observatory Road), Lynn Templeton (126 Boundary Road), Frank Hayes,( opposite the Bidston Hotel on Hoylake Road) Alan Turner (Keswick Place), Sundays attended the 'Tea Shop' in Claughton Village and met up with young ladies, frequent trips, by train, to Blackpool to pass a Saturday or Sunday, Bicycle rides to Shotton area (Welch Bridge) , LLangollen camping in any field - farmers did not object, Camping at Lloc with Lenny Gouldson - he lived near to Birkenhead North Station. 1943 left school, work as office boy at Polish Publications, Hamilton Square and after 9 months moved over to Cooksons the Chemist at 130 Price Street to June 1947 when I was 'called-up' for conscription service. Loads more about life in those days....anyone by chance know me???? If so, give me a ring on 01904-448352 and I will call you back..........
